Hyundai Tucson (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of standard kit	Not all that fun to drive
Five-year warranty	Unsettled ride on big 19-inch wheels
Choice of hybrid powertrains	Plug-in hybrid range not a match for best in class

Quick Summary

The Hyundai Tucson (2021-present) is a deeply impressive midsize family SUV that represents a significant step up from previous generations. With distinctive styling both inside and out, the Tucson offers generous space for passengers and luggage, boasting one of the largest boots in its class at 620-litres. The post-facelift model from mid-2024 features a striking curved infotainment setup with dual 12.3-inch screens, whilst all models come generously equipped with standard features including leather-wrapped steering wheel, DAB, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satnav, and dual-zone climate control.

The Tucson offers a choice of powertrains including a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine with 148bhp or 178bhp mild-hybrid options, a 227bhp self-charging hybrid, and a 261bhp plug-in hybrid with around 40 miles of electric-only range. It's an easygoing companion on the road, smooth and quiet, though not particularly engaging to drive. Running costs are competitive, with mild-hybrid models achieving 43.5mpg and the plug-in hybrid delivering more than 50mpg on longer journeys. The five-year warranty provides excellent peace of mind.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, well-equipped SUV with modern technology, those prioritising comfort and practicality, and buyers interested in hybrid powertrains for improved efficiency.

Not ideal for: Drivers wanting an engaging, fun-to-drive experience, those sensitive to ride quality on larger wheels, or buyers seeking the longest plug-in hybrid range in the class.
